Clear Flood Mode

If the engine floods, clear the engine by pushing the accelerator pedal down all the way and then cranking the engine. The PCM then de-energizes the fuel injectors. The PCM holds the fuel injectors de-energized as long as the throttle remains above 80 percent and the engine speed is below 600-800 RPM. If the throttle position becomes less than 80 percent, the PCM again begins to pulse the fuel injectors ON and OFF, allowing fuel into the cylinders.
